Drilling the B Pipe for a Xylophone

Next thing we're going to do is we're going to drill the B note. So, we're going to take our power drill here. Make sure it's plugged in and has power. We're going to be very careful as we drill this copper pipe here. Again, at the top about a quarter inch down. Alright, so now again we're going to look, we're going to look at our cuts. We're going to recognize that we have some sharp edges on there. So we're going to use our metal grinder and just work those holes. Make sure that we're not going to cut ourselves or break the string for that matter. Because it will do that. And you can use the sharp end of our metal file, kind of work it around and make that hole a little more gentle. Alright, now we're ready to move on.
